Alicante Airport (ALC) to the city
Line C-6 runs to central Alicante and the railway station every day of the year. The single is 4.60 EUR, with a card sold only on board that brings it down to 1.25 EUR a trip.
- Line C-6 is the airport bus, running to the centre of Alicante and the railway station every day of the year.
- The single fare is 4.60 EUR including VAT, under the current Generalitat fare resolution.
- Vectalia's own fares page still shows 4.50 EUR, so expect one or the other and do not be surprised by ten cents.
- Over 65s pay 1.00 EUR and large family holders 1.15 EUR or 0.70 EUR.
- A 10 trip recharge costs 12.50 EUR, on a card that costs 2 EUR.
- That card can only be bought and topped up on board the C-6 itself, not at the airport and not in town.
The fare
| Ticket | Price |
|---|---|
| Single | 4.60 EUR (fares page still lists 4.50 EUR) |
| Over 65 | 1.00 EUR |
| Large family, general | 1.15 EUR |
| Large family, special | 0.70 EUR |
| Airport card, 10 trips | 12.50 EUR plus 2 EUR for the card |
- Contactless payment works on the C-6, so a bank card is enough to board.
- The 10 trip card is the only real discount and it is sold in an odd place: on board the airport line, and nowhere else.
- For two people staying a week and using the bus twice, the card plus recharge is worth doing the arithmetic on before you tap a bank card.
Where it goes
- The centre of Alicante and the railway station, plus other stops across the city, every day of the year.
- The station connection matters: from there, Cercanias and long distance trains reach Elche, Murcia and Valencia.
- For Benidorm and the northern Costa Blanca, long distance coaches also serve the terminal, and the tram from Alicante continues up the coast.
